David Shrigley OBE is a British visual artist. He is best known for his iconic cartoonish drawings of childlike imagery such as animals, food or toys drawn in vibrant colour, combined with deadpan text fragments from overheard conversations or Freudian slips. His work taps into the quick and punchy spirit of contemporary visual culture, gaining him an audience far beyond merely the commercial art world. He constantly challenges boundaries between high and low art through his signature, subversive humour and clever combinations of text and image.
